Catamarca al Natural

ABAUCAN, de la serie Territorio Abaucán.

I found out because Mario Quiroga, a fellow photographer from Catamarca, told me. It has already been published in the provincial media. I was waiting for an official confirmation to spread the news: I was awarded the 1st prize, professional category, of the Catamarca al Natural contest. Naturally I am very satisfied.

The winning photo is part of the work in progress Territorio Abaucán, a way of reinterpreting the imposing landscapes of this volcanic Catamarca region an the effect on the people who inhabit it.

I was never fond of contests, a lot of competition circulates in the professional field, rather my journey was through the different paths that photography proposes.

Pyrenees, the starting of understanding landscape language.

Grateful, of course, to the jury, Ariel Pacheco and Carolina Cabrera and the plastic artist Marcelo Villagra, who knew how to interpret the other reality that this work proposes.
